Abstract
The synthesis of a digital low-frequency quasi-Gaussian filter with a finite pulse-transient response, a unity gain at zero frequencies, and non-negative weighting factors is considered. The filter is designed to reduce noise in Poisson observations. A Gaussian function is used for the prototype filter, and an approximation functional is formed. For the synthesis, the stochastic global minimization of this functional with a modified algorithm for simulating "annealing" is used. The quasi-Gaussian filter is investigated using model and experimental Poisson observations, and its efficiency is confirmed.
